Italian Sea to Sea CLONED FROM ROUTE 1408347

This is a 2-3 day ride that crosses Italy from the Ligurian to the Adriatic seas, west to east.  It starts at the southern end of the Italian riviera near the Cinque Terre, at a pretty touristic sea town called Lerici and proceeds SE on the flat coastal plain to Viareggio to skirt around the southern end of the Apuane mountains.  The route then turns inland to Lucca, Pistoia and Prato.  Then it crosses the Apenine by almost the shortest route over interesting roads, skirting Lago di Bilancino, with no more climbing than necessary, highest ponit 900m, then drops down to Faenza, from where it is a smooth flat run NE to Ravenna.
